    After a disappointing front-of-house experience at another local restaurant, Rio Grill was the perfect anecdote to bad service! Although we have dined here many times before, it was usually for lunch, not dinner. Our waiter was exceptionally attentive to the multiple food allergies in our party, and the other staff made sure that all of our needs were met when refills of bread were due. We had a really lovely dinner, with great food for the price. We look forward to returning again. Rio Grill never disappoints!

    I choose this place due to other reviews saying it’s a very romantic ambiance and they were right, we were seated outside in the back and i looks like every table had a heater which was so nice. For sure recommend the bread service, I will be coming back for sure!
